Hi there! I decided to make a Thanksgiving card with a not-yet-used stamp which I thought was so cute and would be fun to color. Sure enough, it was fun! However, something about the stamp got to bothering me as I was coloring... I don't know why I didn't think about it before: The turkey is alive and plucked and laying in a roasting pan!
I know it's all for fun, but at that point I couldn't unsee it. With the "grateful for you" sentiment in a speech bubble I hoped to convey the impression that the dog had rescued the turkey from... well... you know. Now they're running off to enjoy the pie together. Whatever.
I watercolored with some paints that came free in a kit, plus some Stampin' Up inks, and a Tombow marker or two. Played with designer paper and an older embossing folder, added white splatters and a twine bow.
I'm sorry to be rushing off, but that's how my week has been. Our son came to visit over the weekend, and I'll be out of town for a few days this week. It's been busy, but fun. Pictured below is Saturday's outdoor excursion with Sophie and Ridley:
We were in the dunes again. There's so much room to run and explore. My beautiful children. I'll miss snuggling and loving on them for the next few days as they're staying home with Rich (😔).
I'll catch up with you later. Till then... have a wonderful week!
